Changes needed...

Just as we have made changes to update the music portion of our worship services, we need to look toward our liturgy and our understanding of our Christian heritage.

The past two hundred years have seen great changes in the understanding of the Bible and the Christian doctrine. Christian leaders, theologians, biblical scholars all talk, teach and write about Christianity in a way that is completely foreign to 98% of the people-in-the-pews. And they agree that the church must begin to wake up to the knowledge of the 21st century and begin to preach and teach a more intellectually honest doctrine or it will continue to lose its place in society - and in the not to distant future - become relegated to the fringes of society, among the uneducated and uninformed.
